At a meet­ing with Pres­i­dent Tröông Taán Sang in Haø Noäi, Goh said he was de­lighted at the progress made in bi­lat­eral re­la­tions.

He sug­gested the two coun­tries co-op­er­ate in avi­a­tion and tourism since Sin­ga­pore at­tracted 16 mil­lion vis­i­tors a year.

Goh added that Sin­ga­pore was will­ing to share its ex­pe­ri­ence and support Vieät Nam in de­vel­op­ing its bank­ing sys­tem, ac­cess­ing loans to up­grade in­fra­struc­ture and help im­prove the qual­ity of hu­man re­sources.

Pres­i­dent Sang said he val­ued the for­mer PMs pro­posal and said he hoped both sides would...

Nghò spoke highly of the two coun­tries co-op­er­a­tion and said that Sin­ga­pores support in terms of di­rect in­vest­ment and tech­ni­cal as­sis­tance, es­pe­cially via the Vieät Nam-Sin­ga­pore In­dus­trial Parks, had helped boost the coun­trys so­cio-eco­nomic de­vel­op­ment.

High­light­ing the ef­fi­ciency of ed­u­ca­tion co-op­er­a­tion, he sug­gested that Sin­ga­pore con­tinue to award schol­ar­ships to Viet­namese stu­dents, help Vieät Nam de­velop the pro­fes­sional and English skills of man­age­ment of­fi­cials and pro­vide vo­ca­tional train­ing.

Goh Chok Tong agreed with his hosts pro­posal to en­cour­age busi­nesses to invest in Vieät Nam, say­ing that it would ben­e­fit both sides and help Vieät Nam im­prove its tech­ni­cal, man­age­rial and fi­nan­cial ca­pac­i­ties.

The for­mer Sin­ga­porean PM also sug­gested that Vieät Nam im­prove its in­vest­ment en­vi­ron­ment by re­form­ing and com­plet­ing its le­gal sys­tem, which would at­tract more in­vest­ment. 
